A 12-inch single later expanded to album length by the addition of tracks B1-B4, Converge’s Petitioning The Empty Sky presents metal-plated hardcore delivered with unbonded ferocity and revelling in twining mutant riffcraft. This assaultive blast also points forward to hardcore’s final, end-of-days evolution into a state of finely-detailed holocaust. Stick to the original single tracks (A1-A4) for extra purity.
